Ofni Systems will address validation and 21 CFR 11 with regard to usage of desktop databases, such as MS Access. Many drug and device firms find that Microsoft Access is a perfect software package for database management with familiar, easy-to-use features, good functionality and smooth integration with other common software. But what should you do to be sure your Access databases are Part 11 compliant? FDA requires evidence of your validation efforts, and regulated industry routinely sees the consequences of non-compliance-–every year, hundreds of 483s and warning letters are issued to companies who did not design or validate their databases to meet these requirements. If you’re using Microsoft Access for your databases, you have very specific Part 11 concerns, and you need to take special care to ensure you have the appropriate audit trails, security, and electronic signature requirements in place.
The following topics will be covered in detail:
On Tuesday, January 10, 2012 at 1:00 EDT, join FOI Services and Ofni Systems for a 90-minute teleconference to gain practical knowledge about desktop database compliance and validation, including specific, practical advice on creating compliant desktop databases, validation methodology and maintaining desktop databases in GxP environments.

Does that need validation, too?
Creating an effective, comprehensive FDA-compliant computer validation program can appear overwhelming. In every corner there’s another computer system that just might need validating… it’s very tempting (and common) to conduct validations one-by-one as systems are uncovered by audits and inspections. The problem? This reactive approach almost guarantees that each inspection will reveal yet another system which requires validation, leaving your firm with a long trail of 483 observations, potential Warning Letters, or worse. Your costs will rise, your compliance profile and reputation will suffer.
An efficient validation program clearly demonstrates your quality to your current and potential customers, reduces business and regulatory risks and actively supports the training and infrastructure you need to help your company thrive.
You can get your computer systems under control, document your validation to FDA, and benefit from the resulting control…but where do you start?
On Thursday, November 15 at 1:00 EST, join FOI as Ofni Systems of Ofni Systems presents a 90-minute teleconference offering practical advice for getting started on an efficient, effective computer validation program, including generating your computer system inventory, creating validation master plans, and outlining a validation methodology appropriate for your business.

Tyson Mew, President of Ofni Systems, and Ofni Systems, Validation Manager for Ofni Systems will speak at IVT’s 12th Annual Computer and Software Validation conference in Philadelphia, PA, from April 26 through April 28. Ty and Daniel will present Spreadsheet Validation 101 : Create and Validation FDA Compliant Spreadsheets on Wednesday, April 27 at 8:45 AM – 12:15 PM.
Easy-to-create and surprisingly powerful and flexible tools for data storage, spreadsheets are so common that they can almost seem invisible. However, GxP data stored within spreadsheets must be maintained in accordance with all applicable regulatory rules, especially 21 CFR 11; Electronic Records Electronic Signatures. The FDA is aware of the usefulness of spreadsheets, but expects controls to be in place to ensure that spreadsheets used in GxP processes are compliant with 21 CFR 11 and are validated. As FDA enforcement of 21 CFR 11 increases, uncontrolled spreadsheets represent an area of increased regulatory concern.
IVT’s 12th annual event showcases the validation process for computer systems and software. Computer and software validation (CSV) has remained a FDA hot button over the last decade in the GXP environment (manufacturing, laboratory and clinical). Whether working in traditional pharmaceuticals, emerging biotechnology or the medical device industry, participants take away cutting edge information that can be immediately implemented.
Ty Mew and Ofni Systems will be available throughout the conference to discuss validation.
Spreadsheet Validation 101 : Create and Validation FDA Compliant Spreadsheets will cover:
Participants examine a spreadsheet, determine the requirements for the spreadsheet and then create a suitable test case which verifies that the requirement has been implemented successfully. Participants are encouraged to bring their own example spreadsheets.
All conference participents will receive:

Software intended for the management of manufacturing processes and FDA submissions may very well be too complex, expensive, and laden with features unnecessary in your environment. Commonly available spreadsheet programs like MS Excel may really be most appropriate – but how can you create, validate and use off-the-shelf programs in GxP environments without violating the provisions of Part 11?
